Bottom-filling cup.

Event cup with an integrated bottom valve for faster filling from beer taps while limiting foam.

#2014–2015#Beverage#InjectionMolding
CAD study of two bottom-filling cups with integrated valve concepts

Project overview

Designed for high-throughput events, the concept enables beer to enter through the bottom of the cup, reducing turbulence and foam to accelerate service. DOMTEKNIKA defined the integrated valve architecture to combine rapid filling, leak-tight closure and easy cleaning, performed mechanical and rheological calculations, supervised injection molding of the first production series and conducted functional tests.

What we handled

  • Integrated bottom valve for rapid filling with reduced foam.
  • Valve architecture designed for leak-tight closure and easy cleaning.
  • Mechanical and rheological calculations to validate component and injection behavior.
  • Supervision of the first injection-molded series and functional testing.
